A completed application form is always required. This can be downloaded by clicking here or by application to either of the names listed under contacts in the menu on the left.

The completed application form should be sent to the Administrator together with a copy of the applicant's most recent accounts to reach him not later than the deadline for the relevant meeting. The deadlines are normally the 15th of the month preceding that of the Trustees' meeting i.e. 15th February, 15th June and 15th October.

If the application form gives too little space for the project to be described adequately, up to two additional A4 sheets can be accepted.

Completed applications are not acknowledged, but applicants are welcome to email or telephone the Administrator to check that they have arrived safely.

If in any doubt about the best way to complete the application form, including the size of the grant to be requested, applicants are strongly advised to telephone the Administrator who will be glad to advise.

The policy of the Trustees is that capital funding is strongly preferred, but some revenue requests might be accepted in particular circumstances. The Trustees like to see some element of self-help from applicants.
